Hmm, this poster seems to be the wrong aspect ratio (proportions) for a comic. And I seem to recall Amazing Fantasy 15 having a 10 cent cover price.
Nope. AM #15 has a price of twelve cents.
Torsten, thanks for setting me straight on that. And I even HAD a copy of that comic at one point. Maybe I was thinking of FF#1. I once had a beaten down copy of that one also.. I just checked online and FF#1 had a ten cent cover price.
AMAZING FANTASY #15 had a twelve cent price? Huh … I wonder if that didn’t contribute to its cancelation. I can imagine several bewildered kids and angry parents in a huff over a two-cent price difference between AF #15 and other comics.
Rich… yeah… they’re the grandfathers of the current fanboys complaining about the $3.99 cover price.
Amazing Adult Fantasy went to 12 cents with issue 9, dated February 1962. It features “The Terror of Tim Boo Ba”
The inflation adjusted price of AMAZING ADULT FANTASY #15, according to the Inflation Calculator, would be 84 cents. Eleven years later, AVENGERS #114 cost 20 cents; the adjusted price is 96 cents.
I’m not sure how current the following printing costs for comic books are, but they were correct for 1996, at least:
Wh0 uses chromium ink anymore?
Why are the film negatives so expensive?
I asked a self publisher on a forum if the cost of paper used for printing has doubled and he it wasn’t a factor to higher costs for periodicals. I was given the impression that higher prices were due to a desire for more profit per unit and a shrinking market.
Using that same inflation calculator, a $3.99 comic in 2009 would cost $0.57 in 1963. For scale, an issue of MAD Magazine cost $0.25 in 1963.
When I started collecting in 1984, Marvel Comics cost $0.65. In 2009 prices: $1.32 .
I’d love to see historic P&L statements, to see how costs have fluctuated over the years. I suspect royalties and better paper stock are the two biggest increases over time.
Given trade waiting, would fans complain if the paper was crappy? Or the covers weren’t glossy? Seeing the reaction to Wednesday Comics, I’d say Yes.
